This Non-Prescription Supplement Has Been Scientifically Proven To Make You Grow Taller Even With Closed Growth Plates

This Non-Prescription Supplement Has Been Scientifically Proven To Make You Grow Taller Even With Closed Growth Plates

The other day I read an article in a business related website from a well known financial writer that it is next to impossible to change people’s behavior. The internal inertia within people (described as entropic entities) suggest that on average, humans will always choose the path with the least resistance, that require the least bit of energy or effort. It turns out that the way to change a person to adjust their lifestyle and their behavior is either through giving pain which is a form of operant conditioning after they correct behavior, or you give the person who might only make the smallest of effort a series of easy wins in the beginning. Apparently the early wins create a type of reward or positive feedback loop pathway. It causes the release of dopamine which makes people want to continue to do the new behavior, as opposed to falling back onto their old behavior and habits. So, I’m going to take that advice and help you guys get a small win. This will be one of the first posts you will see when you arrive to our website Natural Height Growth.

So I guess it is time to just tell the people who visit this website the first, and probably the only, real supplement or pill that has been scientifically proven to increase height in people, even if they have no hyaline cartilage left between their secondary and primary ossification centers (aka growth plates). I once wrote in a very early post about the people’s desire to find some type of magic pill that will make them taller without pain, effort, and maybe just a little bit of money spent (Read the post “There Is No Magic Bullet“). Well, today I’ll tell the people that there is just one type of pill. I am not joking or lying to you guys. This pill will make you grow taller even with closed growth plates. We would never make false claims about just things, since that is not the culture and style of this website.

Caveat: Of course, there is just a slight “catch” about this pill, which I will state at the very end. (If you have been trying to get taller before, you already know the “but” part however the ending is reserved for beginners, people who are just starting out and looking for something that can give them some hope and encouragement in the beginning.)

So what is this pill?

– Glucosamine Sulphate –

At what dosage? 1500 mg

Yes, that’s right. This is one of the most common non-prescription supplement pill which you probably have seen at your local Costco which lets you buy it in bulk. It has been proven to be not just good for your joints in removing the pain from such cartilage degenerative diseases as osteoarthritis, but also has been shown with almost conclusive evidence to help people increase their height, even after all of their epiphyseal growth plate cartilage has disappeared from endochondral ossificationcompletion. However, it does not increase height in the way that most people are led to believe.

(Note: Yes, the link above is an Amazon Affiliate Link. If you are kind enough to buy the pills, or anything from Amazon through that link, the website will get about 6-7% commission from your purchases.)

What are some possible side effects?

First we note that all supplements are drugs. Let’s remember how our old D.A.R.E course back in middle school defined the term “Drug“. A “drug” is any type of substance , besides food and water, you put in your body that will alter the state of your body or mind. All drugs, taken at high enough dosages can become toxic and start to hurt your body. Even food and water can do that. Remember the story of that woman who died from Dihydrogen Monoxide Poisoning a few years ago trying to win a car? So, our recommendation is this. DO NOT Overdo the dosage. It is asinine to believe that swallowing 5 of these pills in one day is somehow better than just 1. The side effects that are most common has been upset stomach and indigestion. Those are however benign adverse reactions. Also, refer to the WebMD article on Glucosamine Sulfate.

Our Thoughts and Explanations

More than a year ago, we had already questioned the efficacy of this one supplement, and the results and feedback we got about the effectiveness of this supplement in the post “Increase Height And Grow Taller Using Chondroitin And Glucosamine (Breakthrough?)” showed that there was already a lot of interest and belief that this supplement does seem to work. The video we had uploaded was a guy who explained that he managed to increase his height by upwards of even 1.25 Inches (3 cm) from the supplement. (Note: We originally had made a conversion mistake and said that 1.25 inches was 4 cms, but recently corrected it. It is closer to 3 cms)

We reposted that video below so you guys won’t have to scramble around trying to figure out where we have been getting our information from.

Even I started to take the Glucosamine Sulphate in the middle of last year. I wrote about it back in the monthly update post “May of 2013 – What I’ve Been Doing“. I had measured myself and I also noticed around 2-3 millimeters of height increase after 2 months of oral supplementation. I would say that the increase was probably not because of measurement error. I made sure to get about a dozen measurements using mirrors and rulers. That was when I shaved my head and was swimming on a regular basis because I was living back in the US, after traveling around Asia the last year and a half.

The Scientific Proof and Studies

If you guys have any doubts about the scientific proof of this claim, Click Here and you’ll get a copy of the PDF of the randomized, double-blinded, placebo controlled study. The title of the paper is “Effects of Glucosamine Sulphate on Spinal Height: A Randomized, Double-Blinded, Placebo Controlled Pilot Study”

One of the authors of this exact study is Dr Peter McCarthy, from the Welsh Institute of Chiropractic at Glamorgan University, who carried out the study. It is the exact study that was referenced by our older post about the effect of using Glucosamine with Chondroitin. The reference we are talking about was written on the Daily UK Website entitled “Can a pill make you taller in four weeks?” maybe 3 years ago.

The results showed that on average, a person would gain around 2-4 mm of extra height from taking the pill on a regular basis for upwards of 4 weeks. This is assuming that they don’t do anything else to help with the height gain.

The Catch: The pill probably won’t give most people the type of extra height that they would hope for. When we get messages from people asking for help, they ask for usually 4-5 inches. If people are hoping to turn from a Messi into a Peter Crouch, they are going to be severely disappointed. The maximum one would ever expect from this type of pill form of grow taller technique is probably 2-3 cms, but I know quite a few people who have paid almost $100,000 to get just 5 cm of extra height from going through with limb lengthening surgery. (Click here to listen to our interview with Andrew, who did 9 cms of extra height in his femurs through surgery)

So if you are interested in possibly getting upwards of even 3 cms of extra height which might be more permanent that most people would believe, then this pill is the best, cheapest, most convenient option at the current time. This is as close to a cheap form of magic pill as we are probably going to ever get, at least for the next few decades.

Remember that for most people, getting 3 cm is probably very abnormal without other factors included. The extra rewards will require more than just popping a pill into one’s mouth every night before sleep. It won’t be that easy. You will be required to do some types of stretching/decompressing of the vertebrate discs exercises to get more height. Refer to our other post “Restore Spinal Disk Height And Increase Height Temporarily Through Land Based Supine Flexion“. This will get one’s lower back/lumbar intervertebral discs to become fully straightened out/decompressed.

Future Research: There have been claims that Chondroitin, Hyaluronic Acid, and Heparan Sulfate would also work, but let’s just start off by taking this supplement for now, and worry about other supplements for a later time.

I have to disagree with your point that it’s not beneficial to take an excessive amount of Glucosamine. A guy on the LSJL forum gained 6 cm by taking 10 grams of glucosamine a day. The only real risk is gastrointestinal problems. For anyone who is serious about gaining height I would say that taking much larger doses is worth it.

Up to a certain point yes. When people take regular doses of gluc/chon they report gains around a couple millimeters so it makes sense that a 10x dose would yield a couple of cms. I don’t know for sure but please just consider it.

When you say that “the height gains might be more permanent than you think”, do you mean that as long as you keep taking the glucosamine regulary it will last, or that it might even last once gained even if you stop taking it?

(until one gets old of course, because old people usually shrink in the spine, but maybe glucosamine can prevent that if you keep taking it at that age).

I’ve used Glucosamine Suplhate and Hydrochloride for 2-3 months and gained 2.2cm. I’ve stopped for 3 months and didn’t lose single mm. I know it’s short period, but I will start taking it, again at higher dosage. I was taking 2 grams. Probably I will increase it to 6 grams. Your height from Glucosamine will be gone when you start sprinting, jumping, weight lifting or any high/heavy intensity exercise, but I mean very high.

I haven’t done any stretching like yoga, but I play every odd day basketball which is AIS(Active Isolated Stretching) and one more reason why I got that much height in short time could be from very damaged articular cartilage because of sprinting and vertical jumping.

Physical activity speeds up your metabolism and that means glucosamine arrives much faster in articular cartilage.

BTW: I had no gastrointestinal problems at all at 2mg dosage. Will post here if I get it with 6grams, 10grams or more is toxic and can lead to liver or kidney problems also prostate pain.

No it shouldn’t damage the process unless you stress the leg bones from the kicks at very dangerous level, also while diving which usually causes deformation or retarded growth of bones and decreases your overall height.

I was 17 years old, but I’m 100% sure that it is not due to growth spurt, I haven’t grown since I was 15.
Gains are permanent in some way. You won’t lose all the height you gained, mostly like 1/3 due to heavy high exercise, but you can back it up anytime by taking glucosamine, again. If you’re athlete I definitely recommend you taking this, because my movement and pain in knee just got everything. You might hit up 4cm, there was topic of some old man who has grown almost 2 inches by taking glucosamine from 5’10” to 6′. Glucosamine is good for your overall health, spine, knees, hips, elbows, ankles, etc. …

Hi, could you please clarify something? In this post you specify to take one pill, and that more is not better. However, I bought from your Amazon link, and on the bottle it says SUGGESTED USE: Five capsule taken daily…

If my growth plates are still open and I’m doing plenty of stretching exercises(mostly the ones from School of Height by A.S Palko) alongside some intense cardio exercises (and getting plentiful sleep and nutrition of course) can I take this to speed up my growth?
If so, will it be possible for me to maximize my final height to 5″7 or 5″8? (my height was predicted to be 5″6, but I’ve read that it’s possible to exceed that by possibly 3-4 inches)
I really could use an answer, please do reply as soon as possible

Of course it could, but stress is something you should remove, but really. Use your mind as much as possible, be strong in mind and everything else will come with it. Try this glucosamine and other supplements.

I have tried to find independants and un-biased research about glucosamine. A small, but well researched decrease in symptoms of Osteoarthritis and pain have been proven. Some other benefits have been showed by single double blind studies for each one.

And one interesting thing : “Currently, 3,000mg in three divided doses of 1,000mg is the highest dose tested in repeated trials reporting efficacy and safety.”

Not recommended for children, depends someone says not under 12, some 14, even 18. It damages liver in children more than adults. However I don’t believe kids under 13 need glucosamine, because they would have very well build articular cartilage. Go to supplement page and check other supplements also Hakker’s method I think 90% of kids at 13 should have opened growth plates, take some melatonin, niacin, sprint, etc … . Rojay Jelly.

I stumbled upon this article…and it interested me for two reasons: I have the knee pains from alota jumping coz I’m a very active volleyball player….and if this drug can give a lil height, that’d be cool. I’m 26…and 5″9. An inch or two would be awesome…not to talk of helping with my knee pains. I have just one question, though: this drug, glucosamine sulphate, has alota brands. Which is better? I read somewhere it was Dona….but I see Health aid in the article. Anyone have something to say about that?

Short facts about the process:
My girlfriend measures me for more accuracy.
My hair is shorter now then the first measure.
My doctors measure height was 184 and then 183.5 but when I measured at home it was 183.3 now I’m 183.8
My new gain appears to be exactly 5mm which I’m baffled by, though with that said I always take away a little so I don’t get my hopes up.
Every measure we get a 1m ruler to measure the difference.
I’m starting yoga tomorrow so that could effect the next measurement(might not be entirely from the pills afterwards, but I want height not stats).

Why am I posting? giving results to my glory hole site. You guys should too.. Instead of waiting for results from the forum owner you should try some of those techniques and give your results instead of just speculating.

I’ll wait for more Glucosamine/exercice review to start it. As well as a deep and updated tuto for LSJL. And before that, I prefer concentrate on my stuttering and psychogenic itches, which are much more important that my height.

I may need to say 3 millions syllables in stressful situations with a biofeedback device, in order to make a fluent effortless speach. Brain takes a very long time to change.

About my psychogenic itches, there is currently no cure for it and my dermato failed to help me. This is quite embarassing. I hope I’ll be able to find infos on PubMed by myself.

hi,
Is this product available in India ? if no, then please lemme know from where can i order this. my age is 22, height-5’3 and i want to increase my height desperately. i use to strech, gym and swim but these are not helping me in my height increase…… i want to increase atleast 4 cm…. i am physically fit….. lemme know the dosage also…….
THANX

I believe this supplement only works when undergone workout. The guy from the video said he had pain in joints and knees and he took the Glucosamine sulfate which I think it healed the bone and cartilage making it longer? Same principle as muscles. I will be testing this as well, but I will force a bit of damage on legs using flat shoes. This way the pressure and force will stop at joints when walking/running on treadmill instead of going through the body. Then the supplement comes in action by repairing tissues, cartilage and bone maybe.

Hey
Im 22 (just turned 22) and I grew 5cm, from 6’1″ to 6’21/2″. I started taking glucosamine like 2months ago but at the same time I work out 3-4 times a week and swim twice a week. I guess yes to an extent glucosamine does gain a bit of height but the truth is height is determined by GENETICS. Maybe 20% to do with lifestyle and diet but is height is genetics. My dad is 6’5″ & my mom is 5’7″.

I have started taking the 1500 mg Glucosamine Sulphate and Chondroitin blend since 5/24/2014 and have definitely noticed a small difference so far.

I have a stadiometer and have been measuring myself for several years so I know my norms and it gives some extra mm’s in a few days. Here are some of my measurements so far.

( I will try to only include days that are consistent, if I slept more than 8 hours one night or less than 8 hours I will wake up normally with a couple more or less mm’s)

5/24/2014- Night height 167 cm 5/30/2014- Night height 167.2 cm
5/25/2014-Night height 167 cm 5/31/2014-night height 167.5 cm
5/26/2014 Night height 167.1 cm 6/3/2014-night height 167.4cm
I have never had a night height as high as 167.5 before in several years, so it is definitely doing something with the spine.

I will keep measuring every couple of nights or so and see if it increases. I am aiming for at least an inch, but even a couple of mm’s is pretty cool progress to me. I am wondering if increasing the dose to 1,500 mg in the morning and the another 1,500 at night might help out?

2) Why are you measuring your night height and not your morning height?
Night height is more susceptible to changes and the activities you do the day, while morning height you can just get up and measure yourself right away, you also have a stadiometer so it’s easy.

I measure both, but was just putting the night ones down. I find if I don’t do any really strenuous exercise it seems to stay pretty consistent. I have a ton of data since around 5 years ago with my height so I know the norms pretty well. The morning one for me changes a lot because I don’t always get the same amount of sleep. If I sleep 8 hours I will wake up with a bit higher height than if I sleep only 6-7. That is the only reason I pay more attention to the night one because it just feels more consistent to me on a normal basis.
So far for me without doing anything else it seems the supplement only gives a very small amount of height. I wanted to try just doing the 1,500 mg for a while and see if anything else changed, but I don’t think it is going to without doing something more.
The next thing I am going to test out is taking 1,5000 mg in the morning and at night and also incorporating an inversion with weights program. I’ll post if anything else changes. I read a few stories of people who did inverted sit-ups for a long time and after adding around 20lbs or so to each hand when doing em, they were able to add an inch or so of height. I am wondering if this can be increased with the 3,000 mg of the supplement.
My main goal is really to get to a night height of about 5’7 1/2 or so, but I’ll see if that is possible. And I am 26 years old. I can also post the morning heights on days that I sleep the same amount if that helps. Hopefully it does work though.

I want to ask you guys some questions if of course those questions can be answered
1.What if someones stop taking those pills?Does the height go back to what it was?I can’t imagine myself taking for ever this drug

2.Are all the drugs that have the name Glucosamine Sulphate the same?It does not matter what I buy?(I live outside the us)

I’m super interested whether the possible height gain is in the legs or in the upper body. I’m 23 old male, 5″6 tall but I have short legs (2 inches shorter than average proportion for my upper body), so I really don’t want any spinal height increase, it would make me look even worse.
Can anyone give me a proper answer here, would be really appreciated.

Will start taking Glu + Chon in the next weeks for a few months and will keep you posted. I will stretch as much as I can (as I already do) , will take 2250 glu + 1800 chon for about 2 months, and if it works even a little will try 4000 + 2400 for one more month and have final opinion. my goal is only 1/1,5 cm so I am just not too picky

I been taking the tablets for close to two months ..first month .. 1.5g .. the recommended dosage.. the last few weeks I up to almost 3 g .. I measure the second time since the initial measurement before this experiment .. no growth at all .. meanwhile I do pull up excercises .. kind of discouraging .. anyone else ? good news ? bad news?

I am trying it out and i need to say honest the only thing that it does is to make me fart like hell.
My stomach makes so big noises at work that everyone can hear it and it is no Bullshit.
Farting the whole day because of this shit. I don´t if i really want to fart i could eat mexican.

This pill will reconfigure the growth plates to help them grow taller . Once they are reconfigured and you got 3 cm then it means you can take amino acids to grow taller in inches and you can get 3-4 inches this way.
What do you say Admin?

And those people who are just 17 to 18 years would have their growth plates open , they should check it. And view this post instead

Sir I am 19 and my growth plates are probably closed. I read all your article and it seems to be satisfactory. Now pls tell me weather Glucosamine HCl with Chondroitin Sulphate will do same, and how much tablets of 1500mg should i take to gain approximately 1 inch in a couple of months. Pls reply soon when acknowledged.

What This Website Is About

This website is a research based website, and currently has nothing for sale. We started out as a website looking for a way to help people grow taller, but originally focused too much on talking about other businesses and their products. That has forced the website into multiple uncomfortable legal issues. Those will be resolved. We no longer do that. Our focus is now on the research, the reporting, and the science.
